Avriel Mejrah (he/him) is a poet, writer, and editor based in Worestter, Massachusetts.
His work is often concerned with memory, family, caregiving, and the ways people attempt to preserve what time changes. Drawing from personal experience and close observation, his writing explores illness, grief, record-keeping, and the distance between events and the stories that remain.
His work has appeared in literary journals including The Shore, Months to Years, Thimble, and elsewhere. He is also the founding editor of Hollow and Sky, a literary journal devoted to poetry, prose, and visual art shaped by attention, memory, silence, and the natural world. He is particularly interested in work that values attention, restraint, and emotional honesty.
He is currently at work on Recently Is a Word With Good Posture, a poetry manuscript centered on memory, caregiving, and documentation, as well as A Planet on a String, a speculative novella exploring memory, caregiving, and the instability of reality through a son’s attempts to document his mother’s decline.
When he is not writing or editing, he can usually be found reading, walking New England trails, or spending time with his cat and partner.
